Campione Scumbag in Mash-up Anime-Chapter 109: The Hero Always Arrives Late

One of the hooded men, standing behind the group leader, suddenly spoke in a confused tone.

"Leader, they're triplets. Which one is our target?"

The group leader snorted in annoyance, then glared at his subordinate with a sharp look.

"Idiot. Didn't you read the information provided? The Seventh King's lover is pregnant—there's only one pregnant woman here. That woman is our target."

He shifted his gaze towards Itsuki, his eyes hidden behind the hood emitting a sharp glint that made Itsuki even more frightened.

"...!!!"

Itsuki held her breath, her body trembling even more violently.

Hearing the others' conversation, Nino and Miku didn't fully understand what they were talking about, but Itsuki could vaguely guess.

The same man who had asked earlier glanced at Nino and Miku, then asked again:

"Then what about the other two women?"

The leader answered without hesitation, his tone flat but full of cruelty.

"Kill them."

However, before the leader finished speaking, one of the other three men spoke up, his tone filled with a sly note.

"Hold on, Leader. Directly killing these two beautiful girls... wouldn't that be a waste?" His voice was full of malicious intent.

"At least let us have some fun with them before killing them. It's a shame to just discard such beauty."

The second man nodded, and his grin widened. "That's right, Leader. We can have some fun first. They can't fight back against us. After that, we'll finish according to the plan."

His eyes stared at Nino and Miku with a lecherous gaze that made both girls shiver with fear.

The third man chuckled, his voice full of mockery. "Look, they're already terrified. This will be easier than we thought."

The leader was silent for a moment, as if considering his subordinate's proposal.

"Enough. Do whatever you want, but not here. Just take the two women as extras. We'll focus on the main target."

A frightening grin appeared on the faces of the three men as they approached Nino, Miku, and Itsuki. Their gazes were full of malicious intent, making the atmosphere in the room even more chilling.

Miku held Itsuki's hand tightly, her body trembling violently, while Itsuki could only lower her head, praying silently for Ren to appear and save them.

However, Nino didn't remain silent. Despite her fear, her instinct to protect her younger sisters overcame her terror. She stood in front of Miku and Itsuki, her position like a mother hen protecting her chicks.

"Don't come closer! If you dare to do anything bad, I will fight you to the death! I won't let you touch my sisters!" Her voice trembled but was full of courage.

The three men paused for a moment, then burst into loud laughter, their voices full of mockery.

"Fight to the death? Hahaha! Look at this girl, so brave! What do you think you can do against us? You're just a weak girl who knows nothing!"

The third man stepped closer, his hand reaching out to grab Nino.

"Come on, don't waste time. Let's take them now." He said lustfully.

"Bastard! Let go of me!"

Nino tried to break free from the man's grip with all her might, struggling and scratching, but her efforts were futile.

In fact, these four men were no ordinary people—they were low-ranking onmyoji, practitioners of onmyodo who possessed power far beyond normal humans. To ordinary girls like Nino, Miku, and Itsuki, they were like superhumans who were impossible to fight.

No matter how hard Nino struggled, she remained helpless. In desperation, she bit the man's arm through his robe, hoping to at least cause him some pain.

"ARGHHH!!!"

However, that action only provoked the man's anger.

*SMACK!*

A hard slap landed on Nino's cheek, causing her to stagger sideways with a red cheek and blood dripping from the corner of her mouth.

"Bitch, how dare you bite me! I'll fuck you to death!" The man roared, his anger and lust sending shivers down their spines. His eyes blazed with malicious intent.

"Mhmmmm—!!!"

Her mouth was covered by one of the men to prevent her from screaming, Miku could only watch with tears of sorrow streaming down her face. Seeing Nino slapped until her mouth bled broke her heart. She tried to struggle, but the man holding her was too strong, making her unable to do anything.

"Nino!" Itsuki cried out anxiously.

Unfortunately, she was also helpless. The third man grabbed her arm roughly, dragging her out of the apartment along with her two sisters. Itsuki could only lower her head, tears flowing down her cheeks as she prayed silently.

'Hubby, please help me...'

As if Itsuki's prayer was answered immediately, the air in the room suddenly vibrated violently.

*ZWING!*

A faint golden light appeared in the middle of the living room, and in an instant, Ren's figure materialized out of thin air, as if he had just teleported.

"..."

His appearance caused the atmosphere to fall into a chilling silence, especially for the kidnappers.

The magical energy emanating from Ren's body was so strong that the air felt heavy, and the look in his eyes was full of burning rage.

"Y-You... W-Why are you here?! Shouldn't you still be in London?" The group leader asked in a low voice, trembling with fear.

Although the organization behind them looked down on Campione, it was not something that low-ranking onmyoji like them could contend with. They were just pawns, and facing a Devil King like Ren was their worst nightmare.

"..."

Ren didn't answer immediately. His eyes scanned the kidnappers one by one before turning to the pitiful condition of Nino, Miku, and Itsuki.

Nino was holding her red cheek, blood dripping from the corner of her mouth. Miku was crying silently, her mouth still covered by one of the men's hands. And Itsuki... Itsuki looked utterly terrified, tears streaming down her face as she hugged her stomach with trembling hands.

Seeing all of that, Ren's anger peaked, the magical energy around him surged, causing the room to tremble.

"Good, it seems my prestige is greatly underestimated, huh... How dare you touch my people when I'm not around."

"Hubby!" Itsuki exclaimed with hope and relief upon seeing Ren.

Her tears were still flowing, but there was a hint of calmness on her face now that Ren had finally arrived.

"Huh?"

Nino and Miku exclaimed almost simultaneously, shocked by Ren's sudden appearance out of thin air, as if he had just teleported. They didn't understand how Ren could just appear like that, but his presence brought a glimmer of hope amidst their despair.

"Sorry, Itsuki, I'm late. Well, the hero always arrives late, right?"

Their guess was correct—Ren had indeed teleported from London to Tokyo in the blink of an eye, crossing thousands of kilometers in just a few seconds.

That ability came from one of Ren's six new Divine Authorities, called Revelry's Gate, acquired after he defeated Dionysus, the Greek god of wine and ecstasy. This Divine Authorities had two main, very powerful abilities, reflecting the essence of Dionysus.

The first ability was called Fatebound Step. With this ability, Ren could move to any location directly—including crossing between the living world and the Netherworld—when someone he knew personally called his name in a state of danger. Distance and physical limitations were irrelevant; the key was the personal bond and the emergency.

This ability represented Dionysus's followers, Maenads, who in mythology were said to be able to summon their god in times of danger through spiritual intoxication.

Fatebound Step is somewhat similar to Godou's Gale Incarnation, which allows instant movement as long as someone close to it calls its name. However, the second ability of Revelry's Gate's Divine Authorities is not possessed by the Gale Incarnation and is more similar to the Ram Incarnation—Resurrection!

With the Revelry's Gate Divine Authorities, Ren can create a new body for his own soul as long as his soul is alive, allowing him to come back to life after physical death. This ability represents the mythology of Dionysus, who was supposedly killed by the Titans but reborn through Zeus.

Among the Campione of this era, only Ren, Godou, and Marquis Voban possessed the ability of resurrection—making them almost impossible to kill in battle!

Don't forget, Doni, who has the Divine Authorities Man of Steel, is also hard to kill.

Now, Ren has the combination of the Revelry's Gate Divine Authorities, which grants resurrection abilities, and the Man of Steel's Divine Authorities, which grants invincible defense, making him almost impossible to kill unless he commits suicide!
